Sophie

When she was brought to HCAL, Bella was one sick little girl. Suffering from an untreated thyroid condition, a bladder stone, and a severe skin condition, Bella needed a lot of medical help and even more TLC. After spending several weeks at the vet - and winning the hearts of her doctors and the staff - Bella made her way down the Shore to be fostered by HCAL members Tom and Joan and their other HCAL rescues - known as "The Ark Kids." It only took a few days for Tom and Joan to admit what their pets already knew - they were going to adopt Bella! Now named Sophie, this little sweetie has made tremendous strides in her recovery. While she continues on several daily medications and medicated baths, she has shown such dramatic improvement that she recently had her first visit to the groomer, followed by a “photo shoot” by the groomer's husband. Sophie's recovery will take several more months, but each day she is getting stronger - and prettier! HCAL would like to thank you all for the concern you showed for this little girl. Perhaps she'll get to thank you personally at an upcoming HCAL event - she loves to give kisses!
